I bid farewell to the state of ol' New YorkMy home away from homeIn the state of New York I came of ageWhen first I started roamingAnd the trees grow high in New York stateAnd they shine like gold in AutumnNever had the blues from whence I cameBut in New York state I caught 'emTalk to me of MendocinoClosing my eyes I hear the seaMust I wait, must I follow?Won't you say "Come with me?"And it's on to Southbend, IndianaFlat out on the western plainRise up over the Rockies and down on into CaliforniaOut to where but the rocks remainAnd let the sun set on the oceanI will watch it from the shoreLet the sun rise over the redwoodsI'll rise with it till I rise no moreTalk to me of Mendocinoclosing my eyes, I hear the seaMust I wait, must I follow?Won't you say "Come with me?"
